With these funds, the Buildings and GroundsCommittee of the Board of Directors oversaw the classroom renovation project over the summer. The faculty and studentswho are fortunate enough to have class in Room 221 are all smiles!BeforeAfterWith one classroom completed, it makes the need to renovate the additional hallways and classrooms on the second andthird floors of the Institute Campus critical.
